The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on December 17, 2025, grilled the Governor of Nyamira County, Amos Nyaribo, in connection with allegations of corruption and economic crimes.

Governor Nyaribo was escorted to the EACC Headquarters for interview and statement recording regarding alleged irregular procurement and award of a contract for the construction of the Nyamira County Government offices valued at Ksh. 382 million.

The contract was awarded to Spentech Engineering Limited and is alleged to have been paid amounts in excess of the work completed.

The Commission is also investigating allegations that Governor Nyaribo irregularly authorized payments to himself totaling Ksh. 18 million, concealed as “ex gratia” payment and house allowance reimbursement.

His grilling follows simultaneous search operations conducted on 28th October 2025 in Nyamira, Kisii, and Nairobi Counties, targeting residences and offices of several county officials identified as persons of interest in the ongoing investigations.
